Publisher Description
JACK REACHER NEVER LOOKS BACK . . . UNTIL NOW.
'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.' - Mick Herron.
The present can be tense . . .
A young couple trying to get to New York City are stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. Before long they're trapped in an ominous game of life and death.
But the past can be worse . . .
Meanwhile, Jack Reacher sets out on an epic road trip across America. He doesn't get far. Deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been - the town where his father was born. But when he arrives he is told no one named Reacher ever lived there. Now he wonders: who's lying?
As the tension ratchets up and these two stories begin to entwine, the stakes have never been higher for Reacher.
That's for damn sure.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Jack Reacher’s work has taken him around the world, but in Lee Child’s 23rd book in the series, the itinerant investigator launches an investigation that hits close to home. When Reacher reroutes a cross-country road trip to visit his father’s New Hampshire birthplace, the grizzled vet drives straight into questions about his own past. Reacher devotees and newcomers will feel like they’re fully embedded with Child’s hero, whose intuition is matched only by his fearlessness as he navigates a crazy parade of twists and turns.
Customer Reviews
Past Tense
A good Reacher read as usual
Kept me guessing
It really did keep me guessing and I desperately needed the answers. I was afraid I wouldn’t get the answer to the suitcase. But all in all it finished in the most satisfying way. Very well executed.
These stories just don’t seem to work
Stories in the Reacher series that rely on groups on the dark web just don’t seem to work, they stretch the credibility of what makes Lee Child books work.
